Thread 3 - the one with the speedily written title

[Reastie]

It's early September and we're already on thread 3 - wonder how many threads we'll get to this year! Any bets? Mine is 29!

If you have a referral link for a website, do post it on this thread

See post 2 for some (hopefully) useful links.

I've just bought my DD a Fussy deodorant case and refill for Christmas, Parma Violet fragrance, with a referral it's £5 for the case and One refill, free postage, it's a subscription though so you need to remember to cancel. I've popped a link on the referral thread. Link to website below.

In addition to above post re Fussy Deodorant there's also £2.12 cashback via TCB, my purchase has tracked but I'm not sure it'll payout on top of the referral.

Thanks. Never thought of that.

@Fuckingfuckssake is it an effective deodorant? I use Dr Organic atm but on hot days or if I exercise it isn't up to much

Hello!!! Thought I might join on here for some present ideas and general Christmassy things! We are doing Christmas on a shoestring this year as dp lost his job. My lovely parents offered to help but they are also having troubles with money so I am doing it myself. Any ideas for cheap ideas diy crafty whatever for my dd who I want to have the most special Christmas this year as we’ve had some crappy ones the past couple of years. Thank you!!! I am on the bargain referral thread to :)

Continuing the theme of shops clearing their shelves to make way for new (Christmas) lines, if you have time it’s worth looking at the special reduced or clearance shelves in Boots, Superdrug and Sainsbury’s.

In Boots everything in that section was discounted by 50% - 80%, including this masqd brow set for £3, which I’d be pleased to see in my Christmas stocking. There were similar discounts in Superdrug. People must have stopped sanitising their hands as they had hand sanitiser, 70% alcohol plus tea tree oil, in a big 1000ml bottle for 50p. Sainsbury had lots of back-to-school stuff like lunchboxes, water bottles and stationery eg rubber-tipped pencils at £1:50 for 50. (Classroom gift?)

Now I have to decide whether I’m brave enough to use the Violet permanent hair dye I bought for £1:37.

@Yalz i don’t suppose you saw what lunchboxes there where? And what price? Dd needs a new one so if they are any good ones, that would be a cheap present for her.

Join the frugal Christmas thread too. I'm sure you will get ideas from there

Thanks for posting the Bother offer. I've never heard of them before but stocked up on oil, loo roll etc and got the 15 quid off so great bargain. I got another £1.88 off going via quidco as well

@TwinkleChristmas have you tried a WetBrush? They’re much much better than a tangle teezer (for curls) and only about £7 on Amazon. Honestly they just glide through your hair.

I agree wet brushes are much better, we started with tangle teaser and moved to wet brush. They are usually in tkmax too

We have both brushes too, I much prefer the wet brush!

I can vouch for the wet brush as well !!I have long wavy hair and it gets knotted lots and honestly they are amazing!!

They stay in the basket until they sell out - its a permanent basket.

@LaTangerina brilliant thanks!

Sorry, I didn’t pay much attention as it wasn’t what I was looking for.

There were several different types, but none with children’s characters on that I remember.

Thank you all the same!!

@TwinkleChristmas , Boots had Wet Brushes on offer last week. The one I noticed was £13 reduced to £8:50, but I can’t see them online.

I’m a recent convert to Wet Brushes: I have fine straight hair.

You’re most welcome!

Well after all the wetbrush recommendations, I’ve gone to buy one and if you’re happy to have it in pink it is at its lowest ever price of £5.72 according to camel camel camel

Hi all👋
Just fyi:

The Dr Botanicals 70% off sale stuff is fine but the sizes are rather small. I'd have been livid if I'd paid full price!

Turtle Doves: I ordered a full price pair. They didn't arrive and I asked for a refund. They insisted on sending another pair tracked post - ok fine - but instead of the navy I requested I'm getting light blue!

I'll keep them (probably) but I won't order from them again I'm afraid.

It's not a bargain but I'm loving my delonghi dedica coffee maker! Definitely worth it. I got mine from AO and it was £180.

Jury is still out on the ninja airfryer...

Hi @Deckthewallswithpaintandplaydough have you checked out Vinted? You can filter for brand new with tags etc. You could try searching for some of the things on your list to see what comes up.

For example these bedroom unicorn lights are £5
